That would be a little difficult, since if it is going to an existing profile, it has the variables already in there as default values. If you change that, then that will mess up the existing profile use.
I guess what I'd do is have it check to see if it's an existing profile, if NOT, then make the variables it uses, the default. If it IS then it won't matter, just don't have it use those var's as default, let it get the default from the profile. My guess is, the hardest part would be having it print the error to the order form, instead of to error.html. Hard for one, though, may be easy for another. Maybe some of the other Resellers already have done that, and would not mind sharing how they did it, that would help OpenSRS from having to work on it "SLOWLY IN THE BACKGROUND", as it would be just as easy as coping and pasting, then modifying it to be how they want it to. Just a suggestion.
